when my buddy bent his..you could tell just by looking at the ski tips..one was back several inches from the other...

are both coils back the same distance? it could just be your upper a-arms. mine had some slight rub on one side and even though the a-arm looked good it was completely out compared to another..

flip sled over and look where the nun attaches to front of engine bay. any bending will show up there. you might have to take off skid plate if you have one to see

The only I way I could see your problem is by a bent nun.

Have fun it is a pain in the ***! I just finished up mine.

Mine was an extremely hard hit so it was easy to see, but this might help. The ski was back, the area where the tie rod comes through was twisted (severe enough it tore the aluminum), and the brace by the primary clutch was bent and was rubbing the clutch. Mine also bent the shock and the plate in front of the motor.. if you're lucky, it might be a bent shock. As far as replacing the nun, it is easy to do with a good air hammer and rivet gun. I did mine in the basement of my house. I had to remove the motor because of the bent plate. It takes longer to remove and install the motor than to replace the nun.

Another place to look is behind the muffler, the side of the bulkhead will bend.
