I ordered the wheel bearing for my car and they sent me wheel bearing for a 200. So I was wondering if I can still use them?

Welcome to 2CarPros.

I looked up part numbers for both the front and rear and for both years. (I don't know which you are replacing) They are different numbers, so with that in mind, I would say it isn't the same.

Once you get that straightened out with the store, here are the directions. First, here is a link that shows how in general one is replaced:

Here are the directions specific to your vehicle for both the front and rear. The attached pictures correlate with the directions.
