One of the questions I get on almost a daily basis is how to improve squat strength, so here are some tips to help you with this:
1. Train heavier. Think singles with 90% 1RM.
2. Strengthen your Quads. Front Squats, Olympic Squats. No leg extensions.
3. Strengthen your Hips. Deadlifts, Romanian Deadlifts, Box Squats, Power Cleans, Glute-Ham Raises, Pullthroughs, Reverse Hypers
4. Strengthen your Glutes. Deep Olympic & Front Squats (below parallel, ATG), Deadlifts, Romanian Deadlifts
And of course you must always maintain a strong core! Just doing these exercises alone will help strengthen your core, but you should still supplement your program with accessory abdominal exercises.
