How true are your wheels. I know that on my 889kt I get wheelhop, although the shake produced while accellerating isnt that violent like you describe so this may not be the problem.
I recently had a weird cvjoint faliure as well. The outer driver's side joint, that i replaced around 20K miles or so (give or take) failed. The boot wasnt even torn, but i think some condensation permeated the bit of dry rot on the boot and rusted up the ball bearings a little. But it didnt start with the classic 'click click click' while turning. I was driving back to school on the mass pike and my wheel started to violently shake while the car was pulling to the left.
After inspecting my suspension compnonents and getting an allignement I was stumped. Then one night the joint started to click while turning around in a parking lot and i knew.
Don't push too far if you find out its the joint. In my case i'd have to geuss the alleged rust spots caused by the moisture were seizing up the joint. At highway speeds this damaged the joint which eventually failed.
By the way when it failed i was trying to make my way home, again on the Pike. I was going slow in the right lane in case i needed to pull over, which i did about 30 miles into my trip. The wheel shake was very violent this time and i didn't want to risk hurting someone else on the road seeing as I had to get from Troy Ny to the Worcester Ma Area.
Anyways, sorry for the long and not so informative rant, but again, id check the wheels and how badly they are bent and it could be the joint as well, but if the joint was seizing up i would think the car would pull to one side. Check all your suspension components right away though.
Good luck
Nick
