Help with speed sensor

Pretty sure I need a new speed sensor (ABS light comes on when I start rolling).

Anyway, went to AutoZone and got one for $20. This one:
AutoZone.com | | Vehicle Speed Sensor | SENSOR -- SPEED

Went home to pull the one out of the top of the rear axle and it looks like this:
PartsTrain.com - Hard to Find Auto Parts and Truck Parts - Speed Sensor - 1999 Ford Expedition

Obviously, the one from AutoZone didn't fit. Don't really want to wait for delivery from parts train. Got any idea how to tell AutoZone what I really need?

Thanks.

Edit: 99 Expy 2wd 5.4

I don't know if it makes a difference, but that one you listed from Autozone is for a 4WD and you have a 2WD.

I'm confused. The link above to AutoZone says this: Duralast / Vehicle Speed Sensor -- For your 1999 Ford Truck Expedition 2WD 5.4L EFI 8cyl

...right above the picture....?

Figured it out. I had purchased Vehicle Speed Sensor, when I needed an ABS Speed Sensor. A dollar cheaper (18.99); ten minutes to replace (removing the spare tire to access the sensor took longer than the replacement).

After (sadly) about two years....ABS light is gone. Yipee!
