checking for frame damage...

so im gonna check for frame/core-frame damage on my car.

what should i look for? other than to see if impact area hit the frame, and the fact that the frame could be visibly bent, but ive heard you cant always see the bend...

i know i should take it to a professional, but if i can save money by any means....yea.

any help/opinions that are USEFUL are welcome.

areas to check, frame rails in the engine bay, also look at the supports in front of the radiator. look at the sock towers, rails inder the car, door alignment, door consistently flush with body? Remove spare tire and check the well it sits in
