Started consciously rotating the elbows down to point at the floor and to get it under the bar during the descent and ascent of the squat.  Seems to be very helpful in keeping a straight bar path.  Also had less time to warm up this morning so just did some shoulder dislocations with the resistance band, did some band distractions for the hip, and then just went straight to squatting with the bar.  Felt good actually.  I think since my hip is the problem and this narrower stance really reduces that, I seem to need less warmups, but I should still try to warmup more if I have time.
