Could be other things than your shell being bent.
It takes a lot to bend one as well, has the car been in a serious accident?

well if the chassis is bent one way of tellin is if some 1 follows you down the road your car should drive in a straight line,but if the chassis is twisted the car will crab looks like the car is moving side ways but its going straight due to the fact the front isn't aligned with the rear,doubt this tho,the only cars that have this problem are poorly repaired,and mini's and metros which have subrames which are easly bent
like ian said takes alot to bend your chassis

I stacked my car into a curb n a couple of posts, it was crabbing harsly to the left, thought chasis was bent, was going to go on jig, but once subframe was repaired, it was perfect, n never needed to.

If you're doing enough damage to bend the chassis, you're doing more than taking the bumpers off to repair it.
