My fault - I moved that post from an old thread and should have said to post your own specifics not someone else's,

I saw that and since it was only a couple months old I left it in case the original poster answered him. It isn't making much sense as a standalone question.

I should have left it. First and only post by original person was never replied to by him/her?
Quoted ">> From October, 2011...........
Hello all!
I am driving a 2001 Ford Focus 5 SPD with about 93K on it.
When I first get going on a cold morning, I hear a grinding noise coming from the passenger side wheel. I can feel it a bit in the steering wheel and accelerator pedal. The noise goes away when the car warms up; this whole mess only started recently when the mornings began to get colder.
The grinding noise doesn't seem to change with speed, but does become more pronounced when I hit a bump.
I initially thought CV or wheel bearings, but the fact that it doesn't change with speed and is more of a grind than a click or squeal is making me reconsider. I read somewhere that damaged brake pads can cause similar symptoms, and I was thinking of replacing the rotors and pads anyway.
I would greatly appreciate any thoughts or input.
Thanks!<<"

Is the noise constant happening all the time or just during suspension movement?
Does it make the noise dry steering (moving the wheel left to right without the car moving)?
