Pics would help, but id guess at you bent something or something has come loose (shock tower screws probably) What type of car is it?

Bent chassis. I would also check for broken chassis braces.

Sounds like its a shell from a different car?

If you're talking about it being out by a few "cm" I doubt the chassis is bent (you would expect a few "mm" if it was bent - a few cm would render the car useless)
