I forgot to mention its mostly with over head squats and a lot during the snatch. It happens slightly with normal squats but not as much. 

Ankles and calves have full ROM. I did the FMS test.
I usually hit the hips and hamstrings before I squat. Smashing, flossing and voodoo flossing. 

I noticed that if I place my heels on a small plate (10lbs) I can do perfect overhead squats with no restrictions at all. I can even close grip over head squat with my feet almost touching.
I hope this will help pinpoint the problem. Thanks for all the responses guys.
