Turn the bike upside down, run a string line along the side edge of the rear wheels through to the side edge of the front wheels so it just touches in a straight line.
Without touching the bike, move the string line to the other side of the bike, and place the string line along the edges of the front & rear wheels again. if the bike is twisted in anyway, this will show up with a gap between the string line & wheel.

Thank you very much. I will do this. May give me the excuse to get a new fork. Don't tell my wife however. ;0)
