Today I brought my camera to the gym to video tape my form on my squats and front squats. I recorded the last set of each. I wanted to do this to see how far I was coming down since I don't have a partner to let me know how my form is. I was surprised at how off my regular squat is to me it feels like I come down to 90 but it obvious I'm not. I think I may be leaning forward too much. Can some of the better squatters here give me some pointer on how to fix this? Also today was my second time ever doing free weight front squats I was wondering how they looked and what I can do to improve form here as well. Thanks in advance. I know it's not a lot of weight on either bar

Widen your stance, keep an arch tight in your back, meaning chest up, not down and forward. Hmmm, I'm not the best squatter, but have fixed my form, and I know that thinking of "pulling" my ass back with my hams and opening up my knees and using my hips and loading the glutes was a huge helper for me. Try with a box.

Wider stance imo.
