Not necessarily. When dealing with a bent or twisted unibody frame the tolerances are not exact; only within a certain spec. So everything could be out slightly but the average person wouldn't really notice. eg: a friend bought an E36 M3 years back without pulling a dec check. We tried to install a front STB and it was off slightly. We thought huh, weird. I ended up pulling a check and low and behold it had a $10K+ hit on the front end. Fixed by ICBC accredited shop and all. Again, it's all tolerances; no exact black and white.
