WTF is goin on with my car?? when im driving down the road, sometimes my car will randomly pull hard to the right. I dont think its out of alligment because it will drive perfectly straight most of the time if i let go of the wheel. Ive noticed that it mainly does it when im slowing down for a stoplight or the like. So what do you think??

One possibility ...
When a front end has a lot of caster dialed in and close to zero toe, it will "hunt".
Basically, big wide tires, like 275/40/17s will find subtle "ruts" in the roadway and dart to one side or the other.
Have you hit any curbs, pot-holes, road debris? if so, you might have bent a knuckle or damaged a steering rack.

Maybe check the other side brakes,they may not be doing their job,which will pull to opposite side.Tire psi correct?Intermediate shaft tight?Good tierods/ball joints?
Sometimes if there is a bad component in the front,it may go un-noticed til you hit a slight imperfection and then mysteriously go away when you hit another.Sometimes.
