Have you had the rear toe checked ?
Yes, I was surprised how far the thread got on adjusting non-adjustable bits without getting into Toe-In. On the front, toe-out will make the car vague. On the back, it can be treacherous with a car as neutrally balanced as the Elan.
Easy to check yourself with the string method, which is mentioned somewhere here. And also pretty easy to experiment with on the front.
Wild guess: Is it possible your shop gave it the specified amount of toe out instead of toe in? I ask because FWD cars, which nowadays means almost all cars, have toe out because the front wheels are driven. Do that on an Elan and I'd expect something like your symptoms. The string will tell you.
