Gentle rolling motion when stopped

Scenario. Sitting at a stop light in drive foot on brake. I feel a gentle rolling motion. I know this is an angular momentum issue. I was just wondering if this says something about my shock absorbers, to high of idle speed, normal operation or something else. Thanks.

Thumbs up Normal operation.

Perfect damping and isolation does not exist on any vehicle.

Thanks. I figured that was the case but after my recent experiences I thought I would ask if that was normal!

LMAO. I was thinking in more the terms like a gentle rolling sea. While on this subject what is the lifetime of the engine shocks that are beside the mounts?
