Squeaky doors

In the 88 Cougar, the doors seem to squeak really bad when going over bumps, during braking or during take off.  I guess it is attributed to chassis flex?  If so, there is quite a bit of flex!

These are BIG, HEAVY doors on our cars.  Short of subframe connectors, what might help with the squeaks?

Thanks guys!

How do the striker bushings look? My 88 used to squeak a bit till I changed the plastic on the driver's door striker. Now it's quiet as can be.
