i have a few concerns about my car...

1. sometimes i get a clunk in the rear end when i shift...
2. on cold start up, rpms range from 1200-1500, as car warms up it slowly drops.
3. after "gettin on" the car, when i pull up to a light or whatever, my car wants to idle at 1500, if i "burp" it, or give it a little gas, the idle falls back to normal, then steadily climbs back to around 1500
4. after new turbo, and motor install. i found out that my ball joint on the driver side was bad. i replaced it, and now i have a shaking sensation in the wheel.
 
1 you carrier bearings may be bad.
2 thats normal
3 dunno what to say mine does it sometimes also
4 you may also have a bad wheel-bearing jack up the car and see if u can rock the wheel back and forth if it wiggles your wheel bearing is bad. Also it could be a bad alignment or off balance wheel.

For #4 check the tie rod ends. The usually cause a nice shaking ;)
