ABS Wheel speed sensor

Hi,
I'm writing from Germany and sure hope I'll find some help here. I need a new ABS wheel speed sensor (front left) for my 2009/2,4 L HHR. I ordered the part Rockauto suggests which was completely wrong (I attached a photo). Could anybody send me a picture or a link of the correct sensor, so I can order the right one?
Thanks a bunch in advance.
Richard

The wheel speed sensor is in the wheel bearing hub.
Welcome to the site, what you ordered was the vehicle speed sensor the goes into the transmission lower rear passenger side .

Thank you very much. Looks like I have to get the whole wheel bearing. Don't know why I'm listed as "new member" though, since I've been here for quite some time now.

16 years new guy ! I’ll fix that for you.
I suggest you change both front hubs, they tend to fail together.

It is based on the number of posts. I think it takes 20 to become "senior".

Yes, that’s true , but it is also a bit different in this case.
