Door not fully attached?

Ive got this problem with my iroc. It seems the door will close and lock but when i go over a bump the door seems to move up and down in its closed locked position. It makes a clanky metal sound like its moving up and down in its hold on the bolt.
Is this just loose on the bolt or linkage that locks the door?
Or is it my hinges are are little saggy or weak so it lets it mve up and down? I dont think the hinges are saggy like on others ive seen.

A lot of your problem has to do with body integrity.

For example; http://www.3rdgensolutions.com/tighthinges.html

Full length weld in SFCs will help.
