Default What the heck is this behind my bumper?

So I recently took off my flares and took the end caps off my front bumper as I plan to put on a metal rock crawler style bumper soon. Then I saw this black plastic ball? My guess would be it is an airbag sensor, which scares me because I don't want to set it off. Who knows what this is and where/IF I should move it????

It's your flux capacitor. DO NOT MOVE IT. lol. Nah. It's a vacuum ball. It's ok to move. I think there are instructions in the write up section.

Sent from my mind using the rusty stock leafs off my xj.
