91 RT4WD Rear Control Arm Mount?

i am looking at a wagon on craigslist that has a suspension issue. basically, the part that connects the rear suspension to the struts is rusted out and is strengthened(?) by a steel plate bolted to it. i dont have pictures and barely know what im talking about so im looking for help. what might i be talking about and how much might it be to replace? i could probably point out what im talking about in a picture but i had not found an adequate one.
my friend said i should walk away which we did, and maybe i should continue to do that, but i just cant turn away so easily. so feel free to give me a reality check. thanks.

If that is rusty, though...I'd be leery of parts of the chassis that it is connected to.
