W126 420SEL Lower Control Arm Rust

Afternoon all,

Just got my 420SEL back from the dealership and they found rust on the driver's side rear lower control arm.

Here are some pictures..

This rust is in an entirely different location than that of the other cars I've had to replace those arms on..

I know it should be replaced and it will however I had a tripped planned next weekend down to Cincinnati (600 miles total) and wont be able to do anything on the arm until well after that...

Any thoughts on this whole thing?
