Are you speaking of the sub frame? If so there really isn't any way that can move without "frame"damage.

The points where the sub frame mounts must have been pushed back and pulling it with a frame machine and pulling equipment will most likely be required

ive taken it to mainline autobody they checked the points on the car measured it there was no frame damage they showed me that the subframe had shifted back since most of the impact was on the tire front passenger side

Do this or go away. If all you're going to do is say things shifted then no one can even begin to help you.
