My driver side door is starting to rattle. I slam it hard but it will not shut all the way. When I pulle the door open I can move it up and down but I can do the same with the passenger side door (which shuts fine). I'm wondering if the pins/bushings are out but I want to know before I replace them. How can I tell?

I'll try to adjust the striker tomorrow but it doesn't look like it adjusts.

just grab the door and lift up on it and see if it has play, if it does you need to replace the bushings and pins. I just did mine this past saturday, I bought them off ebay for $15 does both sides.

So the doors should have no play at all?

There should be very minimal play up and down. Here is what you need to fix it.
