I've seent he same thing everywhere, too - everyone mentions 2 gaskets per axel. I think that's because common wisdom is to replace the entire axel, not just the boots (the PET manuals I have don't even show the components of the axel).

But, when I pulled my factory original ones apart, there were in fact 4 gaskets per side, as I've mentioned before. This was a fun lesson to learn in the middle of the job as I had only ordered 4 gaskets to do the job - had to get the other 4 from a local mechanic I know.
