Looks like this is what I should do.  I'll replace the rear bushings, get
an alignment and hope for the best.  Man, I hope my frame isn't bent!  If
it is, anyone got a rough estimate of how much it will cost to fix?  Sounds
expensive.  Then again, can it be =that= bent if the eccentric bushings
(yes they were on the driver's side) fixed the problem?  Never noticed a
pull to the left before my pinkies got involved.  :)

On the chirp.  I'll try to check and see if the dust back plate is rubbing
the rotor as several suggested.  Other than that I shall just monitor if it
is getting worse or not.  If not, I'm not going to get over excited.
