Follow Old Brick Road's advice and replace the brushes (two small magnets actually) and your car will run again. Your friend can do it or take the altenator out of the car and bring it to a shop that works on them - look in phone book.

The steering/handling is a problem. You could always go on back roads and avoid the interstates or look under the car for torn bushings. Pulling on the top of the wheels could tell you if the ball joints are loose. Pushing in the fenders will tell you if the shocks need to be replaced.
It is possible that the alignment was done badly, like the bolts not tightened and they are now coming loose? Could you complain again to Firestone that your alignment still isn't correct?
