When you replaced the alternator, was it new or rebuilt, or did you get a used one from another car? Depending on the application, the serpentine belt had either 5 or 6 ribs (2.0L-5 ribs vs. 2.3L-6 ribs). Rebuilt alternators come without the fan and pulley, and you move the pulley from the old to new alternator. The 5 rib fits on a 6 rib pulley, but it tends to wander and get out of line.
The other possibility is that the tensioner or a pulley went bad when the new alternator was put on.
