Find a GOOD alignment shop, you have excessive toe-in due to a bad alignment.

Height difference side to side is more serious, if you have new springs, make sure the spring pads are correct and that both struts are good (if one has gone flat, it will allow that side to droop some).

MB alignments are different that most other cars, and some shops will never get them right. Toe must be set with a spreader bar (or equivalent force manually applied) or they toe in badly while running.

You must also have the tie rod ends and drag link checked, as any wear in these items produces severe toe-in and resultant tire wear on the outside.

Get this fixed soon, or the tires will wear right through the tread and rupture!
