88 SPG Door Adjustment and "Buck Board" noise

The driver's door on my '88 SPG does not shut with a resounding thud. It seems to catch on the strike plate and has to be shut with more force to shut itself tightly. I tried to adjust the three torque screws on the door end itself to no improvement. The strike plate on the chassis seems immobile. That leave the hinges, something I didn't want to deal with. Is there an easier fix for this adjustment?.
There's also a "buckboard" sound like wooden slats being bounced around in a horse drawn wagon sound coming from the back. I've checked for anything loose in trunk area including peeling back the trunk fabric and insulating the metal to metal contact on the antenna bracket and tightening the spare tire. Can't see or feel anything else back there. Shocks are pretty new so it shouldn't be the bushings. Any ideas?.
