Default Rattle In Door

My drivers door and it seems like possibly the passenger door behind driver rattle when I hit a bump. If I didnt know better, I'd think it was those actuating rods inside the door banging against something. Anyone have any experience with this?

I thought mine was the rods too, turns out the inner "braces?" Were cracked inside the door.
New doors from the junkyard fixed that issue. Pull the door pannel off and start banging on things to find it man

My '92 has/had cracked metal in the door where the handle mounts. Looked like fatigue cracks and it made it rattle badly. I used some pop rivets and some thin galvanized tin to fix the cracks. Been 3 years now.
