Piper Tomahawk tail oscillation

Good day!
I've recently began flying a traumahawk as CFI and long story short, let's just say that the airplane could be in better conditions and I've only two hours on the type (I also have to say that I found it very fun to fly)

The one thing that scares me a little bit is the horizontal stabilizer, during straight and level flight it tends to oscillate a bit in the horizontal axis, like a very small flutter effect.
I know that in this model this kind of effect is normal during a stall, but I would like to know if this can also be applicable at other flight stages. The owner and another guy I know with many hours on the type say it's normal, but I'd like to confirm if this is something that needs to be checked.

​​​​​​Thanks!
