You may have twisted the lower front frame rails (numbers 21 and 23 in the illustration I've provided. This is where your lower control arm mounts and would be one of several areas which would deflect if the impact was hard enough.

Unfortunately, to properly check for this condition, it's got to be checked on a frame fixture machine (Guide-chart) or the tried and true method of jack stands, tape measures and the factory specs to compare against. In effect, they check for the front end to be square and a correctly aligned platform to which everything else in attached.

Unless you've access to the specs, you're at the mercy of your local body shop. An Alignment shop will neither have these specs, nor the willingness to get involved.

When your alignment shop gave the "thumbs Down" did they mention a problem with just the front, the rear or both?
