Question Are front wheel bearings directional?

Hello everyone,
I just replaced both my front wheel bearings on my 2005 Impreza RS

I used SCHAEFFLER( formally FA-G) 102438 wheel bearings [ https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo...=5664783&jsn=3 ]

Unfortunately I didn't pay attention to the direction I put them in at all. Never crossed my mind. Did I mess up?

No, they are not directional.
Why do you ask? Are you having a problem since replacing the bearings?

No problems present but I just did them less then 100 miles ago. I just read somewhere that some Subaru wheel bearings (rear maybe) are directional. Obviously lots of false info out there but got me worried
