SOURCE: Are the rear drum brakes on 1997 stratus self adjusting or manual
It should be self adjusting (when u back up and apply the brakes, it adjusts ), and can also be manually adjusted (thru removal of the rubber plug on the backing plate). The adjuster (star wheel) can seize due to rusting and it won't adjust automatically or manually. Whenever u do a brake job, spray it w/ wd-40 and turn it back and forth several times to make sure it is free, then I put a dab of high temp. brake grease on the threads (only a small amount, as u don't want it dropping off and getting on the brake shoes).

back the adjuster to the point you can just trun the caliper or the drum with little force. you will hear a little rubbing sound from the brake pad.

Visit the autozone.com website and register the car information. It's free and will give you access to an online repair manual for the car. Information regarding the braking system should be available there. It's a handy resource. Hope this helped and best wishes.
