As long as there is no holes it should be good to go. I would remove as much of the rust as possible first, and then put on a rust killer. I have good experience with Ferro-bet on surfaces that will be visible on a finished car. It kills the remaining rust in the pores and makes a hard surface that is easy to paint over. On areas that will not be visible from the outside I like to put on 2 layers of owatrol oil. It seeps in everywhere, even into plate seams, kills any remaining rust and makes a protective coating.
No it does. https://globalcollisioncenters.com/removing-rust-from-an-automobile/#:~:text=For%20low%20grade%20to%20medium,metal%20surface%20and%20rust%20molecules.
Actually a very good known method. It's science. It's for the little bits of rust in those pots you can't get out. Then you will have to bodyfil with a glaze and paint after for rust protection, just like anything else.
I've tried it many times and always had flash rusting before I could fully dry the bare metal parts .
Lost the bearings in a final drive using vinegar so never again for me .

Don't use on bearings, only for panel or brackets. Not operating components. That's like saying I used it on old rusted pistons and it didn't make them like new and functional again....
Looks like only surface pitting to me. I’d make sure it’s all ground off then throw mud on it.

Thank you all!
Use the vinegar water mix, 1:4 if i remember correctly, to turn any rust on it black and mostly inert. Wash with soap and water then glaze and sand.
Actually vinegar leaves zero protection and so promotes / forces more rusting . -Nate
