Exclamation Grinding noise from front passenger right side, engine ticking when idle

There's probably multiple variables here but I'm going to try and get to the point as quickly as possible.
I have a Volvo XC70 2008 AWD.
Whenever I start driving the axle makes this loud grinding noise, which is especially loud if I make a sharp right turn. It usually goes away if I drive the car for a long time (>30 minutes). I know one of the front CV boots is cracked and has grease spilling out, but I'll have to check which side it's on because I think it might be the driver side.
Also, when I first start my car I get a very loud engine ticking noise. Sort of a "tah tah tah tah" noise you'd expect from a school bus engine almost. It's almost only heard when I let up off the gas, not while I'm pressing the gas. It makes the noise in park too. I also feel like the acceleration is pretty weak and occasionally the engine will stall for half a second while I'm accelerating.
I checked the check engine codes back in January so they may not be up to date, but here they are.

P151B-68

P1170-68

P1173-68

The volvo dashboard also says "Needs maintenance now".
Any help is appreciated. I'm trying to save for tuition anything I can DIY or check myself is a plus. Thanks.

I'd start by clearing the codes then restart and see what resets. here's a handy link to look up the various codes: https://www.dtcdecode.com/Volvo

Have you had any recent battery / system voltage issues? quite often when there's a long list of seemingly unrelated fault codes, it can indicate a false positive due to a weak battery or charging system issue (voltage drops set off wrong codes). You happy meal ranges from a faulty knock sensor, large evap leak, fuel pressure sensor etc so I'd be inclined to check battery voltage/charging system/battery cables/terminals etc then see what codes reappear after a few daily drives. The surging stalling could point to a fuel pressure issue so that's something you can test for.

The ticking can be a few things - does it change with engine speed? go away as the engine warms up? Where does it seem to come from when listening with the hood open? It could be a valve lifter or an accessory so you'd need to listen around and see what makes it change sounds. When was the last time the oil was changed?

If you have a torn axle boot, chances are dirt has gotten into the CV joint which will damage the bearings and the axle / joint will need to be replaced.

The right engine mount sags and metal portions of it contact each other - makes a loud noise in the right front.
