Default I need help! Panhard bar bracket rust hole!

Panhard bar bracket has a rust hole. I just got this rear end housing recently because my last one had a broke rear perch. What can I do?! I cannot afford a new rear end right now I just spent alot of money on performance parts and install. Picture included

You might have better luck posting in the general maintenance and repairs section.. Thats a sizeable hole.

Thanks I posted in both. Hoping I dont get in trouble for that Im not sure if that is a no no. It's not broken off just a rust hole on the back side of the bracket. I don't think it's effecting anything yet. My only idea is to grind down the metal an weld a new square chunk

I'm sure they would rather have you post in one section but I wouldent sweat it. I know your just looking for answers. Cleaning it up GOOD and welding a patch is an option. Even a little rot will continue to cause problems, so do the best you can. Grind, rust inhibitor, clean welding surface, etc.
