Trying to diagnose front passenger wheel noise. 2011 Ford Focus SE?

I'm having a very difficult time diagnosing a deep grinding/vibration sound coming from my front right wheel. I initially thought this was the result of old spark plugs as they had over 100K on them. I replaced them and saw no change than started to realize that the sound its coming from the wheel rather than the engine. CV axle is new, along with new Monroe struts. When installing the struts I had to replace the outer tie rod end. The sound is getting gradually worse and I'm going on a trip at the end of the month so Id like to get this figured out before then. It does not sound like a wheel bearing it is much deeper. It honestly sounds like a mustang is accelerating and misfiring as I go over bumps, but it did not used to run this way. It is the most noticeable upon acceleration where passengers even notice it. Turning right while accelerating is also very loud, however when turning left there's almost no sound. Another thing I notice is when the weight is removed from the wheel the sound subsides. For example while accelerating it will make a very loud noise but if I go over a speed bump the sound will subside as the wheel goes over the bump and will immediately return as the weight of the vehicle is placed back on the wheel. At higher speeds is is far less noticeable but still there. I read a bit about wheel bearings and it doesn't seem to match up with that. I'm having a very hard time figuring out what it could be, anything helps.

Is Ford affordable to repair/maintain?

I know luxury cars are usually most expensive to maintain, but how are Fords when it comes to repair/maintenance bills?

Specifically, how do they compare to Honda as far as practical maintenance? (Honda was my first make, but this is my first Ford.)
Gently used Focus SE hatch, 2014 model year…
This is a way newer car than I'm accustomed to (I last drove a wonderful 1990 Accord) and it's definitely more computerized. Would I still adhere to the 'every 5,000 miles' mark for oil changes, if I drive infrequently, under mostly normal conditions?

Just trying to figure out what kind of leeway (if any) the Intelligent Oil Life Monitor gives me. Thanks for your patience! Please, only genuine answers as I'm genuinely curious.

2013 Ford Focus knee airbag replacement?

I bought a salvage rebuildable car from copart auto action that was in a minor crash resulting in minimal front end damage and the drivers knee airbag to go off. I put in a airbag that hasn't gone off but now I'm stuck on what to do. Do the impact sensors need to be replaced along with the module? Or does the module just need to be reset or flashed

2009 Ford Focus Keyless Entry?

I have a keyless entry remote from my last car 2004 Mercury Grand Marquis and I would like to make use of this remote on my 2009 Ford Focus. I have went through the programming mode several times and changed the battery. I'm able to reprogram my original remote for my for focus, but the other remote doesn't seem to want to program to my focus. I'm assuming the remotes are specific to each Ford. The remotes are physically identical… Am I at a loss here and have to order a extra remote for my focus or is there a way to use my old one?
