Yup!

                I was tempted to do that!  But, you said only one in your post and on the sites it specifies one per seat.  I was still tempted to try two but after putting in one it was so nice.  From loose and rocking to just perfect.  So, I put away my extra one for another day or when one of the other ones wear out. 

It was kind of amazing, the improvement. 

Still hard to only use one!  I want symmetry, and I like overkill.
