balance shafts
Balance shafts are small, weighted shafts - similar to a camshaft - inside the engine block. Two balance shafts rotate in opposite directions from each other at twice the crankshaft speed to help "cancel out" engine vibration. Balance shafts are most common to 4-cylinder engines to help reduce noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) inherent in this engine design.
