Rinse with water and wipe off surface rust your good to go. I spray suspension parts with a rust reformer also afterwards and top coat it afterwards. Always has worked well.
Papa your concoction is the cat's meow. I already had a water/vinegar batch made up, which I've used over and over again, because it's still relatively clear. Anyway, I added a dose of KleanStrip Prep & Etch (phosphoric acid) to it. About 3/4 cup to maybe 1.5 gallons of water/vinegar.

What a difference! I put an axle plate in the bath for about 17 hours. The rust is coming off quite easily, and I mean QUITE easily. I knocked off the surface and threw it back in the bath. Will let it sit another hour or so. Then I'll hit with oil/brush. These plates will come out like new. Thank you.

Edit: Not "like" new, I just got excited. The inside plate is like new, the outside has some pitting, but not bad. SLOW process. Yeah blasting would be nice. I don't have one, and they want $35 a part.
