im not sure if its only when ur accelerating, otherwise the wheels need to be rebalanced i would have thought.

thats a familiar problem the problem sits in your suspension on the front.
check for fusee joints if those dont jiggle .even so your stabilisator strut shouldn't have any movement ,the wish bones which are connected to the fusees and stabilisator should't jiggle also. check these points

It sounds like either the tracking is out or the anti-roll bar bushes are worn. Bring it up here if you want me to have have a look at it.
