Spark plugs

Car was shaking really bad when stopped at a light. Check engine light comes on when I went over 50 mph and it started bucking real bad. But it stopped when I went about 40 mph. I have changed the spark plugs and it seems like it helped a lot. But I test drove it and everything seemed fine until I stopped at a sign and I felt a small buck. Maybe a misfire? Kind of hard to explain the feeling. But it was like a small blump blump. Could not hear it just felt it in the car? Do I need to change those rubber boot things?

Well it wasn't the oxygen sensors like the shop told me. They didn't even pull up the code for the misfires, so I bought a coil tester and tested my coils. 2 of them didn't spark so I replaced them and it seems to be running fine now. The light finally turned off
