* Consult your owner's manual: This is the best resource for the exact location on your specific model.
* Check online repair manuals: Websites like Chilton or Haynes offer detailed diagrams showing the alternator location. Search for "1998 Dodge Avenger alternator location" on their sites or Google.
Keep in mind that there might be slight variations depending on the engine type (2.5L or 2.0L) your Avenger has. Always be cautious when working around car parts, and disconnect the battery negative terminal before starting any repair work.
