Acura TL 2004 Driver Side Headlight Not working

Hello friends I am new at this page, saw some informative helps guidance, that's why I joined it, so as new in buying acura by having previously good experiences in buying Same shaped (or may be equipped) Honda Accord(2003-6) Mugen 3.0 Japnese, back in Pakistan.
Probably I found that in same year here in US this particular shape has been produced by Acura and Honda skipped the Asian shape of (2002-2006), and gave 2006-2008 shape(Asian) in (2003-2007) and that shape is probably Acura TSX here with same specification and 2.4 motor anyways,

Now, I mostly noticed that many users of this generation complains of the strange knocking sound other than engine from passenger side in cold start, so am I having it, following are my issues on which I request for experienced resolution advices, if being user I could get it fixed
1; strange quicky Takh Takh Takh (knocking) noise from passenger side(or may be in straight direction of gear), when the gear is in Parking, but when I Put to D or R sounds slows alot and on warm up temperature, gone as if nt there.
2; Feel the jumps of road on the steering slightly and I have to hold steering to keep the car straight else cars go quickly to the right.( Need cheap rate and talented suspension machenic in Houston south)
3; When I put D and or R gear, and turn steering to like 75% either side, and slowly release brake to give motion, i hear "Tonnnn noise" from the front right Wheel,
4; Driver Side Headlight both High Low beem and blaster also the dim light not working(one eye I have in car), on trying to test the fuses I found that fuse is perfectly OK) there is no current in any point of fuse of right High Low) not sure if the wiring of blaster is faulty how to check it or does it relate to low high beem, or normal light and dim, need help on this urgently) hope not to remove bumper.

5;Dashboard Rexine got torn like as if the licker sort of thing is broken, or may be plastic is broken, I don't think there is a remedy for it, but still asking if there could be a cheap option to get it look better

Few others also, but hope to have easily described and resolutive answers God Bless

1. Timing Belt Tensioner or Accessory Belt tension rubbing along with the belt. Replace all the items.
2. Torn Lower Control Arm Compliance bushings, $32 each from Acura/Honda
3. Related to #2, check for worn ball joints.
4. Swap Driver side headlight parts (bulb, ballast and ignitor) one by one to the passenger side and vice versa to figure out the broken part.
5. Cover it up with a dash mat for around $100 or get it covered in leather, alcantara by an upholstery shop.
