Any reason to worry about this control arm?

This arm appear beat on. Does anyone think this is still safe for use. Daily driving and autocrossing primary uses.

Clean it up with a belt sander, press in a new bushing, and run it. If there are no cracks I wouldn't worry about it.

Yep that's just cosmetic from someone doing sloppy work.

Thanks, consensus seems to be that it is safe. I will clean it up and install new bushings and pillowballs. Thanks. I won't ask for a legal disclaimer this time. I do appreciate the (completely non-legally binding) advice.
