Default Radiator/core support?

The previous owner of my 1998 civic sedan seemed to have been in a minor accident in the past. This can be seen with the headlights not lining up with the bumper cover, and the bumper cover sagging on the right side when attached to the proper holes by the front right fender. I was curious on what sections of the unibody i should inspect before deeming that the only damage was a misaligned radiator support. What other parts of the frame could of been damaged and bent? From inspecting the actual metal bumper, i can tell it must of been a fairly minor collision. I can't post any pictures until tomorrow.

Probably missing the bumper support...you should take it apart.

Collision repair sucks... Went to school for it. If it connects to the front bumper in any way, it could be damaged, all the way to the firewall, depending on angle and force, Disassemble and check it ALL. Hopefully its just what the others have mentioned, maybe a core support or bumper support.
