No.
I have had three different cars and they all had the passenger (curb) side wheel bearing go in them. The Subaru dealer (it was under warranty) said the passenger side ones go due to the nature of roads in this country. That side sees an inordinate amount of dust and potholes, and the camber on our roads is fairly significant.
I did the rear right in the Soarer a while back. I checked the left, but like you it was fine, so I left it.
