I gotta 2001 ford focus and the charging system is violent?

I charged the battery and got another altinator and the battery light comes on and it vibrated very badly like it's gonna stall .. In the first place I bought a new alt thinking it would stop the battery light from coming on . Now I have my old alt is at home and it never made the car vibrate so bad before , just the battery light appeared a couple times . The old alt has bearings that are worn and whines when cold starts . I'm kinda mad at the car and wanna get it fixed asap . It will stall on a full load with everything on . I need tips please !!!

    Sounds like you are talking about it miss firing causing the engine to drop below the RPM to charge the battery. The old alternator was probably working fine apart from the worn bearings.

    Get someone who knows about cars to have a look at it and see if it is miss firing or the alternator/charging system.

    Hi it is not the battery or the alternator it is a ford car with ford issues which can only really be sorted by them plugging in there diagnostic tool to find the error codes and an update of the software to the diagnostic tester. so the poke and hope route has not worked despite all your best efforts so time to bite the bullet and dig deep in your pockets for the real answer.
