I notices some noise coming from power steering - sounds like broken bearing noise .( its not squeaking noise , more likely grinding noise )
Is my power steering bad - needs to be replaced or some bearing is failing . Please advise.

A 2016 Focus is a MK3 not a MK4 so you posted in the entirely wrong section.
You have electric steering. It's called EPAS(electric power assisted steering). You don't have a steering pump like with an older car with hydraulic power steering. Maybe your rack and pinion is making noise if it's grinding. Also, check your tie rods and ball joints. If they are so worn out that they are making noise then you could wind up in an accident if one breaks.
How many miles are on this car?
