Hard to say without a pic or knowing how deep / far the rust is.

Re: Trailing arm mounting point
Have a look at this post viewtopic.php?t=150329&hilit=rear+jacking+point .
I have found it best to go in through the side panel above the JP and repair from above. That way you don't have to remove the jacking point. If it's not too far gone that is.

Re: Trailing arm mounting point
Thats great i did think of doing that its not bad at all the rest of it, its just inside.i did same thing on the front because under the wheel arch had rotted so i chopped off the bottom of wheelarch as that needs slight repair also ,excuse the poor welding ,welder had rusty wire .
