Hello,
It sounds like you might have faulty neutral safety switch.
Typically when that switch goes bad you will have to put in neutral to start.
The neutral safety switch is located on the passenger side of the transmission.
Here is a helpful article on the neutral safety switch:

For the noise coming from the front right side, it could be a number of items like balls joints, sway bar or the link etc.
You need to first do a visual check to see if anything looks broken or loose.

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
