That's the bearing the right wheel spins on. But I don't know the mileage or if it's used mainly for short trips or not. If the car is driven a lot the bearing would have failed completely by now. You could jack up the right front and spin and wiggle the wheel.

this is the correct and most likely issue for a pull not a drift. Drifts can be fixed with alignment, pulls are not. A drift is when you let go of the wheel and the car slowly "drifts" into the another lane. A pull is almsot always a tire in front and you let go of the wheel and turn on the turn signal because youre changing lanes. As lance said, swap front tires side to side

Drift... existed before the new tires.

Have you tried moving the rear wheels to the front and front to the rear. If they are directional make sure you criss - cross them. Drive it to the alignment shop and tell them it pulls to the right. Really dude; I don't know why you are on here asking that question when you have trained techs in the business around you. They can drive the car and handle the problem because they are right there. We are not.

For swapping front/rear - what about the stagger? As I recall the various oem staggers range from 245/275 to 255/295 front rear, all with staggered offsets. Maybe it can be done... but it would look bizarre.

I'm just getting very skeptical about his story. The technicians are there near his home who can drive the car and diagnose it. All we can do is throw more paint on the wall. If I took my car in for a alignment and discovered the right pull on the way home I would return to the shop and get it sorted out. They would not send him out without taking care of it.
