Leg imbalance with SLS

Hi I'm finding that one side of my SLS is fine, but when squatting with my right leg my body tends to turn in towards the left. My extended leg is also turning in to the right and during certain portions of the rom it gets really "cramped" as the two legs start to cross paths. I suspect this is maybe an issue of both strength/proper muscle activation and flexibility. Any ideas on how to fix this?

It is probably inadequate glute activation on that side.  feel you glute squeeze as you start the movement, and try to maintain that.  it keeps the ankle straight and the knee straight.  It could also be lack of mobility in the ankle.  That will cause you to twist to the left as you go town to "cheat" the ROM.
