I have a 2000 Strautus and the left rear brakes went down to nothing. I replaced bothe calipers, pads an rotors. I had trouble getting the left rear brakes to bleed, but I eventually got them to. Two weeks later the pads were worn down to nothing again. I replaced everything again and went to go bleed the lines and the left rear wont bleed at all unless I turn on the car. It does have ABS, and I have read that there is a tool to bleed them, but I am not sure if this is the problem. Does anyone have any ideas on what this might be.

 

Check that you don't have any collapsed brake lines. If you've got ABS (pretty sure you do with 4w disk), than you'll need the proper scan tool (DRBIII) to "pump" the abs system also. Most garages will have this, but they are not the same scan tool you'll find at the local parts store. You may also want to make sure the master and slave cylinders are working, but you should be losing your front right brakes at the same time as the rear left if they were going bad.

 

I have a 2002 with 4wheel disks and no ABS.

 

That's GREAT! The 2001+ had the option of 4w disk and no/abs. The 95-00 if you had the 4w disk, you had abs, otherwise you had rear drums. '95 may be the exception to this rule, but the OP clearly stated it's a 2000.

Lets not muddy up the waters by throwing specs out for a completely different car. Or the three different cars this section supports (95-00 Stratus, 01+ Dodge Stratus, 01+ Mitsubishi Stratus)

Chalk one up to dodge de-contenting features for a newer generation...

 

Do I sense scarcasm?

 

Sure do!

Sorry if my comment came off sounding mean, it was not the intent. The OP has a 1g Stratus with a specific issue that isn't going to be easy to figure out. Throwing in information about one or both of the 2g varieties, will make diagnosis and repair much more difficult.

From the OP's brakes alone, I can tell that it's the 2.5Lv6 ES edition, and not an SE with the 2.0 or 2.4L i4.

 

I learned something new. I wonder if bobstocks42 figured it out yet.
