Default 95 Rear Control Arm Corrosion question

Hello All;
I'm renovating the rear suspension on my 95 for a winter project, and just removed the bushings and cleaned up my rear control arms. After cleaning I noticed corrosion on the inside of one side (see attached). When I was repairing aircraft, any corrosion on an airframe member was a cause for consideration... but the stringers were significantly thinner aluminum. Should I be concerned about this corrosion or is it too minor to cause any significant issues? My instinct tells me to just clean the part and continue but I was looking for other opinions. Thanks!
