Loose Door

My passenger side door is considerably loud whenever the road becomes rough for my Bronco (which is often ). It's closed completely...I took a look and it doesn't look like theres any obvious fix for the latch mechanism. Pushing on the outside of the door from outside of the Bronco...I can push in approximately 1/2" or more. Driver's side door...I can't push it in at all, hence...no rattle. Any tips would be appreciated!

Door striker may need replaced. They have a plastic sleeve over them and they wear out making the latch loose when closed. No big deal can pick up at dealer and change out on your own with torx bit.

All it took was some tools at work and some elbow grease. I adjusted both strikers to fit pretty snug but not too much. The only thing rattling now is my door panel from replacing the bushings in the window motor .

Thanks!
