I don't know about your "chirp", but if you had eccentric bushings fitted to your A-arms on only one side, your suspension geometry is going to be all messed up. If I understand your post correctly,

I had an untraceable "clonk" like this, and it turned out to be a bad shock. (It "clonked" every time the rear end unloaded, usually from deceleration or braking, but also after bumps.) Chris Kottin

No, I mean an alternator. Alternators put out plenty of power, relatively independent of RPMs, IF the battery can supply them with 12 volts of "exciter voltage". This makes them great for keeping a
