pretty sure the one you looked up online is a jobber part (sometimes lower in quality, sometimes oem quality, sometimes even premium, who knows.)
This.

There is a big price difference between a brand new part from the manufacturer and an "equivalent" part. You are comparing apples to oranges.

This is a true Volvo part... $329usd + shipping + brokerage. For sure way less than buying it new at Volvo in Canada, but twice the price of the one that you saw online.
