It could be a seized caliper. Buy a good used one or you can have your current one rebuilt. Another possibility is to checkout the suspension on that driver side like the control arms, wheel bearings...

Like SC300Max said, it could be a seized caliper. I had the same problem with it making a noise after letting my foot off the brake pedal, mine ended up being a seized caliper pin. The pin was stuck in the bracket good, I couldn't turn or get it out. Ended up getting a used pair of calipers from Aliga and used the bracket from that. After that no more squeeling sound when I let off the brakes. Hope this helps and good luck!
