Default car shakes when you slow down

im thinking its a cv joint..... the front end shakes when you slow down. it doesnt do it when excellerating. i have seen people mention tire balance..... surely this isnt it?

Your tie rod ends could be the cause. Mine did that if all the time if I wasn't on the gas.
Ball joints to, and yes tires, but that would happen all the time, or get worse the faster you went.

When you hit the brake pedal, do you feel a "pumping" feeling coming back through the pedal?
