Default Engine cradle question

About 6 months ago I took my car in for an alignement at a local NTB and the guy told me he wouldn't be able to fully align the car because the engine cradle had shifted to one side. He raised the car and showed me how one control arm was pulled all the way to the inside and the other one was pushed all the way to the outside with no more room to adjust. Anyone have an idea about how much a shop would charge to recenter the engine cradle?

-Thanks

Oh one other thing that I think could possibly be related as far as the engine being too far to one side is my exhaust won't stay in the driver side rubber hanger at the rear of the car... I always have to go back under the car and rehang it and about a week later it will slip back off... it would make sense if the engine is say too far to the right that the left hook on the exhaust would just slip off of the rubber hanger... any ideas?
