Even if the bolts are loose they wouldn't cause your issue.
Not sure why you are so dead set against having the body checked but maybe you just simply still do not understand what the problem could be.
The car was written off in the first place because it would cost too much to repair so somebody someplace probably knew the frame was out.
The doors, fenders, hood, etc can be bent and not cause any issues with the structure.
If the A pillar is damaged it can throw off the whole body alignment. It is structural part of the car. Look at the picture below. That is the structural uni-body or "frame" of the car. See how the A pillar is tied directly to the front structure that holds the suspension?
If that pillar is bent that pressure extends through the rest and throws them out of alignment. A body shop will use special equipment to see that everything is in alignment. You can measure yourself but you need to be very precise in the measurements. You can not just look and say "ya it all looks good"
