Few issues, not sure if they are related, but in order to by which started first

Slight knocking sound clearly coming from front right tire area, sounds related to cv joint. This started occurring when i turned sharp right (not all the time). Now it is still not all the time, but definitely more frequent and happens when i accelerate and turn right.

Heater stopped working only on level 4 fan power.

Turning over the ignition sometimes takes a second, but obviously delay that it isn't normal. At its worse it tries turning over until it gets there. Usually less than 5 seconds.

As of 2 days ago there is a burning smell when accelerating hard. This has happened maybe 3 times now. Today was the 1st time it was obviously from my vehicle and not someone i was following. If i had to take a guess it smells like hit metal on metal, not oil or rubber.

Please start a new question for the additional problems, one handle one problem per thread. It does sound like the CV axle is worn out. You can get a new axle from Amazon for $79.00.
