Default Shaking and pulling at low speeds('95 del sol)

I am pretty sure I need to get my CV joints replaced, because I hear clicking when turning, but I have a new problem and I am unsure if its related or not. I recently developed a weird shaking problem when I let go of the gas. Sometimes,(randomly) when I let go of the pedal going like 30-40ish, it starts shaking the wheel pretty hard and pulling to the right,(at first I thought maybe I had a flat tire or something) but if I put my foot back on the gas even a little, it goes away instantly, but if I let go again it shakes hard and pulls. If I then slow down alot, to like 5-10 miles an hour, or slow enough to make a turn, and speed back up to 30 or whatever the speed limit is, the next time I let go of the pedal its fine again, no shaking, no pulling. It has happened twice at about the same time at the tail end of a 20 minute car ride home from school. Is it possible this is being caused by the bad CV joints? The guy I got it from said it just recently had an alignment done, and when I was driving on the highway even at high speed like 85-90mph, I didn't have any shaking, even minor shaking, but I haven't gone on the highway since this started, It's only happened like two or three times in the past week.

Put the front end on stands and carefully inspect both axles. If they are bad, replace them and go from there.

update... It now has happened once when I was accelerating at low speed. I'm thinking maybe its as simple as a loose lug nut perhaps? or a combination of things, I really need to look at those axles...
