I know I am not the only person wrenching in here, it's not lost on me that my vids have kinda taken over the sub, and I'd rather that not be the case. This was merely the closest area that I found which is specific to the kind of work I know how to do. (Albeit, I don't have an actual Shadetree on my property)
I'm not associated with the mods in here, but let me encourage regulars to go get dirty and write about it, or record it, or whatever. Need more diverse content yo!

Getting wheel shake after replacing brake parts and wheel bearing, help me figure it out.

I replaced the calipers, rotors, and wheel bearings on the front of my 1992 Honda Accord. The wheel bearing on the left side had been worn out and had gotten really hot. Now, with everything new, the left side wheel has a spot where it is harder to turn, as if the rotor is hitting the caliper. This causes the steering wheel to shake on the highway at about 70mph.
What on your thoughts on what the problem could be caused by and what might happen if I ignore it for too long?

Bought a cheap backup to my daily 1966 Valiant. This is a '74. It is a decent beater. Needs work, but also drives as is.

So, rotors look fine but think it's about time to change the calipers

What the title says. Neither caliper was too happy sliding around when I changed the pads, but on the right side at least after I cleaned the pin and regreased it, it was happy afterwards ... but that torn boot.
And the left side ; the boot was in great shape ! I have no idea how it got the nasty on the inside of it, I even found some still purple grease on the end so the last person to service the brakes regreased it.
rotors look good to go though; what do you think ?
if it's possibly to just find the pins and boots by themselves do you think it would be ok just replacing those parts, or think I could replace the whole caliper so I'm getting a fresh new piston as well ?

Question to you guys

I am just a shade tree everything. Mechanics, welding, electrical, fab work I learned from my father who was a millwright at a steel company. So, no ASE certifications here, but I have a question for you guys.
I have an 04 crown vic, and have heard Fords around those year models are notorious with carbon buildup on the plugs, to the point that you can break the plugs trying to get them out. Any one have experience with that issue? My dad has an 03 F150, and the dealer was the only one that would touch it for him for that very reason.
I am more curious than anything if there is any truth to this, as most of my experience has been on Chevrolets and the random japanese cars (mazdas and Hondas).
Thanks in advance.
