I hit a pot hole a little while back and bent my rim, I put on another rim and now my passenger side front wheel has the bottom kicked in pretty good. Any easy way to adjust this?

It pulls pretty hard to the right and is wearing the tire big time.
 
Sounds like ,in addition to the bent wheel, that your axel was also bent.

Going from memory, I believe the camber should be 7 degrees ? If I am wrong, please do not hesitate to post correct information.

Not much in the way of alignment on the A, just toe in/out. If it needs caster or camber then something else is bent, but the good news is you can bend it back or find good used parts.
 
Check your toe in, about 1/16" - 1/8" . It would take a collision to bend the axel, but a radius rod may have slightly bent. Get under the front & have a look, it should be obvious. Anything can be straightened.
 
A axel can be straightened. It has to be done cold. You might check around for a shop that works on trucks front ends. They usually have the ability to straighten a axel while it is still in the vehicle.
You may have to give them the specifications. Worth a try. If you lived in Sacramento, CA I could give the name of a business that has, and could do the straightening.
Your 2nd choice is finding a good used A front axel.
