My front right wheel makes a clicking noise at lower speeds when I turn to the right and a little less noise while turing to the left. It does not appear to affect the driveability of the vehichle.

It sounds like a bad axle joint. Look at the rubber boots where the front axle connects to the wheel and transmission, more than likely the boot is torn which has allowed the joint to be damaged. If so, an axle replacement is probably your best bet.
