I just changed mine last weekend, took about 3 hours to remove and about 30 min to put back on. The first step is to remove power, the battery is in the wheel well of the d/s front tire. The starter is easiest to remove from the bottom, Jack up both sides and be sure to use jack stands. Remove the bolts (3) from the accelletor cables, so that the cables can be moved so that you can gain better access from the top. Once you are able to spot the starter, use your replacement to see the alignment of the starter bolts, there should be 2 bolts. I removed 1 from the bottom and 1 from the top. After you have both bolts removed, you can then remove the ground, it is a simple pull cable, but can be tough if grease has gotten in it. Once you get the starter out, it goes in the same way just in reverse order. Good luck, have some patience and you will be done in a bit, with $$$ still in your pocket.

When working on a car engine, it is important to have an engine diagram. A Dodge Stratus engine diagram can be found in a Dodge forum online, or in the repair manuals at Auto shops.
