Default Will these MB front wheel bearings replace the Crossfires

For less than $30 I ordered these to replace the wheel bearing in the front hub on my 2007 Roadster. I have over 80K miles and get some wandering. I could feel a little give on the wheel when shaken.

To pull and inspect took 30 minutes. The inner bearing had been hot at some time and needs replacement

Chrysler wants over $600 to do the job and I think I can just replace the bearings.

I was surprised on how many MB vehicles this bearing set covers and assumed they would fit.

MERCEDES SLK 230 FRONT WHEEL BEARING KIT 98 99 2000 01: eBay Motors (item 120584478845 end time Aug-15-10 10:23:45 PDT)

I'll probably get a used Hub (junk yard) and replace the bearing before pulling the wheels. I'll post the results when I know.

Any input appreciated.

On the site it says they fit the SLK320 and the SLK32 AMG as well.

I would assume that he intends to change the outer raceways in the spare hub so that he can just do a quick change when he removes the original hub.
