The Timbren axle less kit comes with only two seals for the wheel bearings. Am i mistaken in believing that each hub should have two seals, totaling 4 seals?

Hi Jacob; what came with your Timbren # A20RS545 is correct. You only need one grease seal per hub. I went ahead and attached a video below which shows bearing and grease seal installation for your reference.
