Just curious, what pressure are you running in the trailer tire? Is the oscillation less pronounced with a load? My father used to run some pretty low tire pressure in his trailer to cut down on the bouncing, with light loads. We had an old Sears one wheel trailer that he used for many years and thousands of miles.
