The front left wheel makes a clicking sound when I'm turning right. But it only does this after the car has completely warmed up after driving. And I've already replaced the front axles but it still does the same thing. Any idea what it is?
 
This could be your PS system. How hard of a turn does it take to make it click? Does it click when you stop and turn the wheel all the way?
 
After the car/brakes are warmed up, it clicks any time the steering wheel is turned to the right and the wheel is rolling. It does not click if the wheel is not rolling.

Sounds like bad CV joint but it only happens after I've been driving for a while (brakes/engine warm) and I've already replaced the axles.

I had the exact samer problem with my 2000 Dodge Neon. It was making a clicking sound when i would turn a corner. So i replaced teh CV joint and than it worked fine after that. If i were you, the CV joints are only like $50+CORE. Let me know if that fixes your problem.

probably the brake dust shield, sometimes it can get warped and start running into your brake rotors. makes sence if after its heated up since metal expands when it gets hot, i'd check to see if fresh metal is showing and if there has been any contact and just kinda bend it back if there is.

Ok, How are your bushings? My car makes that somewhat similar sound and I replaced both axles with quality raxles and it does it, but not as bad and usually only when braking. And I found that my contral arm bushings are ripped and getting nastier. So, Check bushings, mounts, and see if you have play in your tie-rods and ball joints.
