  The Forward-Backward Asymmetry (AFB) in Z' physics is commonly only thought
of as an observable which possibly allows one to profiling a Z' signal by
distinguishing different models embedding such (heavy) spin-1 bosons. In this
brief review, we examine the potential of AFB in setting bounds on or even
discovering a Z' at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and proof that it might be
a powerful tool for this purpose. We analyse two different scenarios: Z's with
a narrow and wide width, respectively. We find that, in both cases, AFB can
complement the conventional searches in accessing Z' signals traditionally
based on cross section measurements only.
