need help diagnosing door latch issue on SDL

Hi all,

This just started on my passenger front door on my 86 SDL. When I close the door, it doesn't fully close. It sticks out a half inch or so and you isn't held strongly. You can move it in and out about a quarter inch or so. If I push the door closed with some effort, I can lock it and it stays flush that way.

Is this a simple door striker failure? Visually it looks good and I recently replaced it with a pulled part and it closed well without having to be slammed.

The extra effort needed to hold it closed and the increased resistance when turning the key makes me think this is worse than just the door striker.

Thanks.

-M
