Brake "juttering" of RH front wheel on 2005
I recently purchased a used 2005 touring model with M/T, 26,XXX miles. Between about 5 to 35 mph, the RH front wheel makes a sort of a roaring noise and causes a vibration that can be felt in the passenger-side floor but not in the steering wheel. Applying the brakes and/or turning to either side makes no difference. The car does not pull to either side and de-clutching the engine and changing RPM makes no difference. The calipers appear to be near-new. The rotors are grooved and are warn around .035 inches/surface. There is a ridge around the periphery of each rotor.

Thanks for the response.
I tried what you suggested and the tires felt smooth in both directions.
I do not think that it is a wheel bearing, as steering to the left or right does not change the pitch of the sound, which a bad wheel bearing usually does.

I thought that perhaps the brake pads were dragging more than usual on the RH side and causing the noise. Yesterday, after a short very easy drive, I touched the rotors on the RH and LH front, and it felt like the right one was hotter.
