    spark plugs are such a easy swap you might as well go ahead and replace them ... be sure to get recommend NGk plugs the motor is happier with them in there

    struts , strut bearing and mounts , control arm bushings ball joints could be a number of things . I would take the front tires off and have a good look at everything ..

    wow you get that sound just pushing on the wheel....rear brake noise might be no pads left and you are metal to metal,
    are you sure the wheels are on tight ? could be dry ball joints or tie rod ends .. might even be sway bar links too..
    going to have to take the tires off and check it out

    their theory is traction on the rears .. my thought is I want the best tires I have on the drive axle and stearing tires.. there is not much weight on the back ...

    Dusty256 got a reaction from dhh3 in rotated my tire today   
    I had the rear shocks on mine go bad , 140,000 miles , everything is due to be here Thursday so I can change them .. really cupping the inside of the drivers side somewhat and enough to make the tires noisy ... after I change the shocks going to rotate them in a cross pattern and have them balanced . funny thing is that discount tire will not cross rotate even though I point out the tire maker recommends this.
    they also try to fall back on they have to put the best tread to the rear ...
    think I will try a little local shop to balance all four tires and rotate them the way I want after I fix the shocks ...

    that's good , funny with the labor when the injector is so easy to pull out . must of been a glitch in the memory of the Pcm ..
    I am taking mine in for the win recall but first I want to do so maintenance items before hand. don't. trust the dealership here because he said to do the recall they would need the car for 4 days to inspect it before hand... it's supposed to be a simple 1 to 2 hour replacement and ref lash .

    this pretty much sums it up ... I am willing to bet your mech did not bleed the system the right way ...
    good luck and post back what it takes to fix it

    Flushing the line might clear it but depends on the line. If it's a rubber line most likely the inside is flaking and needs replaced...
    You have air in the system somewhere or a leak .
    No clues with the pliers either.... One word of advise ... Find a another person to look at this they are missing something simple ..there has to be either air in the system or a leak .. i still will bet they did not bleed the abs system correctly , you have to have the right scanner .

    my bet would be the abs pump not being bled correctly . loss of vacume would be a hard pedal . sounds like they where just throwing parts at it .
    time to get back to basics . start at the right rear and bled the system the old fashion way with someone pumping the brakes and the bleed screw.
    I would ask your dodge dealer if the bled the abs pump with a scanner . you can not bled it anyother way because to have to active the solenoid's ...
    has to be something very simple you are overlooking .
    same here been working on my own cars since I was 16 and I am 58 and have never seen this problem ...
    silly question but did you bled the master cylinder before hooking everything up..

    Maybe it's time to find a new mechanic ,,, two months is a long time to work on brakes and replace so many things ...brakes are one of the easiest to fix even with abs thrown in the picture.
    My only other thought would be the abs controller but if they used a scanner to bled the abs system it should be good.
    Also when you bleed are you sure you are getting all the air out and a solid stream of fluid ...
    Also might be the wrong master cylinder or booster or connection between them

    what is 3'on the gauge , I am guessing 3000 rpm. four set of tires in 96,000 miles and tie rods twice sounds like a bad dealership or repair shop to me that did not align the car correctly . tire sensors do fail
    question have had the recalls done . the wiring harness one also
