So I'm gonna run through multiple issues at hand and anything you can provide I GREATLY appreciate. For starters its a 2002 GP GT w/ 107xxx on the clock

1. My emergency brake light is coming on at random....is there some sort of sensor for it somewhere?

2. How difficult is it to get to the plugs on the 3.8; mines never had them changed and she's starting to misfire and throw an SES at random.

3. This ones gonna be my biggest one. So let me preface, about 2k-3k ago I changed my wheel hub assemblies (both front and left front were done...only ones needed), they wouldn't pass my inspection without new ones. Long story shoort I did buy the NTP brand name ones from advance. (This may bea tangent and unrelated sorry lol) but in the past few weeks I've noticed when accelerating and the car is in the higher rpm band (3.5k - 5k) through the steering wheel and pedals it feels like I'm driving over the drunk bumps on the side of the interstate. It worse when accelerating uphill. Also REALLY rears its ugly head in corners ESP when accelerating through or out of a corner. It almost feels like the car is gonna fall apart. What in the world could this be? Could it be those crappy NTP hubs I was warned against buying or something worse?

Thanks in advance to all who reply!

Also I failed to mention. The vibration is really noticeable if I'm driving down the highway....cruise set and the car goes over a dip. When the suspension compresses and the body pushes downward it happens as the suspension rebounds everything goes back to normal.
 
1. could be the pedal sensor under the dash, or the low brake fluid sensor in the master cylinder.
2.They are not bad at all, remove the two dog bones up top and pull the engine forward with a ratchet strap.
3. Could be bad struts starting to stick, or a cv axle, jack the car up and back sure the bearings and ball joints are tight by moving the wheel side to side and up and down.
 
lol you are correct it does not say emergency brake, but I assumed that was it seeing as that's the light that comes on when you put the emergency brake on lol

Add some brake fluid, Its low. I bet the pads are getting low, As the pads ware the caliper piston travels further and more fluids needed. If it wasnt full to begin with then it will go low and kick the light
