Rectifier bridge is what converts AC voltage to DC voltage in your alternator. From the few posts I read, you need to buy a new alternator.

I would buy an alternator with a lifetime warranty.

in my saturn, you had to remove the front passenger wheel and splash guard to get the alternator out... I was glad I never had to change it out $\:D$
