Wheel bearing question

Greetings,

My mechanic told me that I had a bad bearing on my '89 80 Quattro.  It 
sounded like the rear ones to him, so I order one.  In the interim, he had a 
motorcycle accident and another guy at the shop pulls the wheels and 
determined that it's the front one.  He puts the rear bearing that I ordered 
on the front.  Is this acceptable?  Or is the wheel vibration that I hear 
and feel above 65 attributed to the switch?  Or, is the vibration due to the 
fact that i'd recently had the wheels aligned prior to the bearings being 
put on and need to get it aligned again?

Thanks,

Thomas Alexander
