They are there to reduce vibration (NVH) by adding mass at a point on the axle found to vibrate or change shape under certain conditions it reduces or eliminates the vibration.

Thanks! I'm considering taking them off but not at the cost of making it sound like a POS.

There is no reason to take them off....and what do you expect to gain from removing them?
