Alright, here's a pic of the mechanicals:
The bad news is on your vechile you have to remove the timing belt, but here's a step by step.
CAUTION
When draining coolant, keep in mind that cats and dogs are attracted by ethylene glycol antifreeze, and are quite likely to drink any that is left in an uncovered container or in puddles on the ground. This will prove fatal in sufficient quantity. Always drain the coolant into a sealable container. Coolant should be reused unless it is contaminated or several years old.
To remove timing:
The timing belt can be inspected by removing the upper (front outer) timing cover.
To install:
Hope this helps.

SOURCE: how to install front struts for a dodge caravan
the strut mounts on top with three studs and on the bottom with two bolts to the spindle support, you will need a spring compressor to exchange the spring, its a good idea to install new bearing plates, when reassembling make sure the spring plate is lined up properly, get repalcement cam bolts for the bottom and then get the vehicle realigned, while you are it its a good idea to check the ball joints and tie rods for any looseness,
