We investigate the production of the weak bosons $W^+$, $W^-$ and $Z$ at theLHC as a function of their rapidity, reconstructed {\it experimentally} fromtheir leptonic decay. We show that the measurements provide a powerful tool forconstraining the parton distribution functions, as was already the case for thelower energy $p\bar{p}$ collider data. We study the charge asymmetrydetermining the $u$ and $d$ distribution functions using the reconstructed$W^+$, $W^-$ rapidities. We also show how the ratio of the $W$ and $Z$ bosonrapidity distributions directly probes the charm quark distribution function ofthe proton.
