Had a slight accident and now the front tires lose tread really quickly and it veers to the right.

Could be anything from a separating tire tread to worn steering linkages or a worn front bearing. For the sake of safety, I would recommend taking the vehicle to a front suspension shop, or a general purpose repair garage, for diagnosis of the issue. If you continue driving the vehicle with the issue you describe, you run the risk of losing control of the vehicle and having a potentially fatal accident... so PLEASE have the issue diagnosed as soon as you are able!

I think the rear axle is out of alignment a simple thrust angle alignment should cure the problem . provided the wheels and tires are not out of round and the front angle alignment is correct another possibility is radial tire pull and may not be related at all if you swap the front tires and the pull switches side you know you have a slipped cord inside the tire and they cannot be seen usually but will drive an alignment tech batty

could be a number of things. low tire pressure, loose or damaged front end parts. worn out tires, or simply out of alignment

You have a bad right front wheel bearing. You need to stop driving this car and have this repaired immediately.

It really depends on the tires. Some tires have a one-way tread pattern and are only supposed to rotate in one direction (i.e. ones that pull water away from the center of the tire). In this case, you must rotate driver-rear to driver-front and passenger-rear to passenger-front. If you have a symmetrical tread pattern, you should rotate driver-rear to passenger-front and passenger-rear to driver front.

If you post a picture of the tread pattern, I can tell you which you should do.

I'd certainly rotate tires to see if noise changes at all, as well as take a good look at tread on front tires, especially for excess or unusual wear on edges, especially outside of right front, if your quite sure the noise is coming from the right side. Does the noise increase, decrease, or stay same, on a left hand turn? Another thing would be to check all motor, and transmission mounts and see if it looks like things may have shifted slightly, or if they appear worn or broken, as well as If engine/transaxle has shifted slightly it can cause similar noises as well. As far as left front bearing goes, I wouldn't rule it out 100% either, unless you are positive noise is from right front area. You have to remember, either way you turn the wheel, will slightly shift either bearing if there is play in it. Rule out easy stuff first like tires.

Jack front end. Use both hands to check driver and passenger side tires for slight wobble. If wobbles, you have a bad ball joint. Otherwise inspect tie-rod end for wear.

sounds like a wheel bearing problem

Sounds like front differential or front drive axle issues. Check the front differential gear oil then take er' to the dealership before you end up spending a bunch of $. Most people change their oil frequently in the engine but forget about flushing the transmission fluid and changing oil in the front and rear differentials. I have three Ford 4X4s. Two which really get used hard. The 93 has 311K miles and still runs excellent. Trans and differentials get a fluid change every 25K miles and moble one synthetic engine oil changes every 5k miles.

check your tire pressure first, may want to check tire tread, check your rack bushings( this is the most likly cause)
