I have noticed in the last few weeks, that while I am in reverse putting my car into the driveway, I always stop and open my window to pull in the side view mirror, and each time the window goes up, and down, the car trembles.

Does this indicate to me that the alt. is really that weak?

I mean, I don't really see my lights dim inside the car with music on, but I never play loud music anymore, just enough to sound good.

Maybe I need a better battery? Or is it the alt's fault?

that was the first thing that happened when my battery started going bad. i'ld take it to auto zone or somewhere where they can check the battery to tell you if it's good or not.

Have you upgrade your grounding system - look up Big 3. This is going to be a must.
