dowl pins

On my 79 350 the rear drums have dowl pins. the front doesn't. What are the pins for? I have a vibration problem i'm tring to fix, I borrowed somes tires and wheel from a buddy but his wheeels didn't have the holes for these pins. Can I remove the pins? Thanks, Tim

I think the pins you are talking about are for aligning the dual rear wheels so they bolt down properly and the valve stems are accessible. If so leave it in place. Just get your tire balance checked.

Ok I had my wheels balanced, 3 of them are bent, I found a guy on this site that has some for sale, they are off of a 1986 f350, will they fit? Mine have the lug holes that are tapered one in one out, do they have to be that way? Thanks, Tim
