I measured the alignment and the left is 1/8 toe out and the right is 3/8 toe out. I have replaced the right axel as it was bent. I don’t know if that has anything to do with the difference in alignment.
Are your landing gear the straight ones or the bent ones, which is what I have. Bend the landing gear seems a little drastic. I’ve been told by an A&P to use shims in the same manner as they do Cessnas.

I understand how to measure the wheel alignment but what I don’t understand is how to change the alignment.

Send me a photo of your gear.    I can't think off a place where you could add shims.
Do not archive
