Morning thoughts:
Fore and aft motion can only be brake related. I posted another thread once where I accomplished this by improperly failing to adjust my Prodigy brake controller. But you said you weren't braking when this was going on.

Excessive up and down motion in the front seat, where you really feel the trailer wheels hitting every bump, is easily arranged by cranking the WDH bars too tight. Of course, it's normal for the ride to be a little stiffer when towing, even when you have it right.

I'm also a fan of reading the tire sidewalls and inflating them to the max number. In my case, that's 44psi vs the 30psi recommended on the door post. This also makes the ride a little stiffer, but it's the way to have the least flex in the tire, get better tire durability, have better vehicle stability, carry the maximum load, and get better gas mileage.
