What damage has been done by a pothole if your steering wheel shakes and a few weeks later the exhaust suddenly sounds like its blowing really loud on acceleration?
You are dealing with 2 separate issues you need to look at. The pothole probably damaged a belt in the tire or knocked off a wheelweight or you might want to have the alignment checked.
The blowing sound you describe is a plugged exhaust system. Either part of the exhaust system is smashed or the honeycomb matrix (the guts) of your catalytic converter are broken up. Hit the outside of the catalytic converter with a rubber hammer and see if you can hear rattling in your converter. Or possibly the Air tube has broken off the catalytic converter.

What damage has been done by a pothole if your steering wheel shakes and a few weeks later the exhaust suddenly sounds like its blowing on acceleration?
You may have broken the steel belt in the tire that hit the hole or damaged a front suspension part. An exhaust pipe or muffler may have been dented. monitor engine temperature for exhaust problem, look for higher engine temps to show seriousness of damage and possible drop in gas mileage. I would have exhaust and front suspension visually inspected for damage.

How do you get clearance from the exhaust or steering components to remove the starter from a 1985 Mercedes 300SD after all the bolts have been removed?
You must take them off. I took mine out of my '84 300 turbo by turning my steering all the way to the right. That gave me enough room to weasel it out between the steering and exhaust.
