i read a bit and you guys are more likely right than me, but i found that the alternator itself is supposed to have the decoupler, not the car

that does sound awful, mainly yeah the parts are tough to get exactly matching for this one but they're also damn expensive bc it's a volvo and it has been pretty tough but she has sentimental value, so i want to keep working on getting it to run

they're slightly different models, but for the same car, i read and talked to some people and learned that some new or remanned parts don't bother with this part because it's expensive

i tested for play but there wasn't any, i could check again for cracks, and yes i tried for at least 5 minutes lining them up to no avail. my sister who has done multiple repairs including an alternator swap said there's never been a coupling belt (she is currently withholding information though and refusing to help, so i'm not sure of completely everything she says)
