I'm squatting only a little more than my bench press, is this pretty unbalanced?
To be exact, I'm benching 155x10, squatting 155x12, deadlifting 225x10
I don't train my legs any less hard than my bench or deads other than that I bench first in my full body routine. Should I be doing leg extensions or something else for my legs as well?

You need to figure out where the weak point is at in your squat and target that point for improvement. Are you falling forwards, backwards, getting stuck out of the hole, halfway up, what?
Depending on where you fail you need to target that weakness and stive for improvement. Do SL deads, good mornings, hyperextensions, and lunges. I went heavy on all of these for 6 weeks or so and my squat blew up.

There is a sticky in the strength and powerlifting forum that helps you identify your weaknesses. It details various situations where your lifts fail and identifies the weak spot that needs to be brought up. Give it a look.

I ended up taking a video of my squat to show you where I run into the problem-- and it seems to be at the pushup.
How does my form look?

since i have been working on my form i will tell you the best form advice after watching your vid...practice doing a squat with no weight or bar with your legs against the long side of a bench...if when you go down the bench moves you are doing them wrong....I say that because seems like your knees are a bit foward when you go down thus it seems you push up with a foward motion rather than a straight up motion...thats my 2c though but form is pretty good considered
