What could cause the left side of your car to make a metallic squealing noise when you drive it and are accelerating not braking?

Brake pads generally have a wear indicator which consists of a small aluminum arm that is comes off the pad base and points down toward the rotor surface. When the pads start nearing the end of their life, they become thinner. As this progresses, the indicator comes into contact and drags against the rotor to give you a squealing sound whenever the wheels are turning and car is in motion. It doesn't matter whether brakes are depressed or engaged. Sounds like it just needs a brake pad change. That is, if... the sound is coming from the front of the vehicle. Could be a few different factors, but I'd say this is likely the culprit.
