Control Arms Replaced 87 300TD

I had an indy shop replace my control arms about 1500 miles ago, and now my new front tires are almost bald on the outside tread. Since they replaced the right side spring as well, I measured the height of the fender on the left side and it was 1.25" lower than the right.
I figured the reason for this was the old spring on the left side, so I had it replaced as well. It is still 1.25" lower. I then looked at the eccentric bolt positions for the 2 control arms and they do not appear symetric. Could this be the problem? I looked everywhere for adjustment instructions for these bolts, but with no luck. Any ideas?
