if you have it up on a rack its usually obvious. it can be anything from "teeth marks" on the frame where it was pulled out, to overspray on things that shouldn't be, to poor quality welding

All you need is your eyes. My car has been in a front-ender. Here's what it looks like with my usual 56k-friendly thumbnails.

Get a four wheel / thrust alignment. If all four point and steer in the right direction you won't have a problem.
