toyota uses the term, "dual-mode damper" for the crankshaft pulley. It's effects on the crankshaft are twofold-the dual-mode dampers’ inner ring counteracts torsional vibration, while the outer ring counteracts bending vibration. Inner/Outer rigns, hence the ’dual-mode’ terminology [source : Toyota Engine Technology]. 2, record 3, English, - crankshaft%20pulley
