Struts in the front and rear.
According to various specifications available online, the 1998 Dodge Stratus came with 4 wheel disc brakes and ABS was an optional feature. Your best bet is to ask your local mechanic to confirm what type of braking system your vehicle is outfitted with. If you see rotors on the rear it is 4 wheel disc. If you see abs sensors in the rear it has 4 wheel abs.
Take it to the mechanic and pay him.
