What Did I Just Break?

Hello all! I have a 96 EB Bronco, I was installing new sway bar bushings on the back today when I broke this thing. It sits right on top of the rear differential, in the way of the sway bar really. I took the bar off and popped the damned thing off. It has a covered wire going to it with two little shiny silver things inside with some thin copper wiring that appears to broken as well. I cranked up the truck to see if anything acted any different and I noticed the ABS light does not go off. What is this thing called, I know it's something to do with ABS but what should I ask for when I go to get a replacement? And is it okay to drive with it being broken?

It's the rear ABS sensor.

Also called Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS); should cost about $12 from the Ford dealer.
