Doors are shaking while driving on the bad road

Hi,

Those doors on my car are shaking when I driving on the bad road, sounds like they are no assembled well or closed well but they did, is that caused by the saggy door?? both of they are hard to open......

How should I check?

That was happening to me also a while back. Hit any bump in the road and the door clang, sounds like the car is falling apart. Check the door latches. Mine were worn out and had play where they latch to the door striker. Replaced them and doors have been perfect ever since.

"striker" is the portion sticking out of the door frame

the "latch" is the part that contacts the striker and is on the door itself

good luck joe
