When it snows hard the galant pulls to the right when I slow down, well more of like a jerk to the right. It never happens when i am on the throttle, only when I am slowing down and get below 25mph. Also I have a really Bad CV on that side if that could be part of the problem. Would be greatful for any help.

Jerking to any direction while braking is a brake issue.

More than likely the caliper pins are hanging up not letting the caliper float.

Dust boots ripped is most likely the culprit.

The bolt/pins are sealed inside rubber boots to keep them floating.

Take the front brakes apart and you will see what I am talking about. When you put everything back, clean everything really well and use a little grease on the bolts.

If the caliper is binding up, it will be intermittent. Here is the breakdown of the brakes.
