squeaking driver door

driving me nuts. on choppy gravel roads or small bumps in the road, not smooth road or big potholes, i get a squeak from the driver side door. ive replaced this little rubber bushing with one from ford,

and it shut up for a week or two. if i spray it with silicone spray it will stop for a week. i have not tried spraying the latch mechanism, everything looks in good shape, no premature wear or anything.

i dont want to get involved with adjusting the striker and pulling the door more shut or anything, because the door lines up right right now.

ive also tried pulling that rubber thing off and it kept doing it.

any ideas? anyone have this problem?

The only noise my Supercrew makes is opening the drivers door because of the cracked plastic door ajar thing that Supercrews are famous for. Other than that my doors are solid so I don't know what could cause it to rattle other than the actual latches. My old Supercab rattled like crazy, as does my bud's Supercab FX4. The latches don't hold the doors tight enough on those.

Yeah this is the door for sure it stops when I open it and it will even stop if I twist that rubber bumper thing

Grease up that latch some maybe, maybe it is not holding the strike as tightly as it should.
