That's the advantage of full exoskeletons. Thex support their weight an stress completely by themselves, not putting most of it on the human body. Granted, they also look a leeeettle more stable than the futuristic-styled one at the top of the thread.

But, yes, a cybernetic arm attached to a plain human body wouldn't give the strength to lift a car, as there's more to carlifting than just the arm's muscles. Mostly it'd be the back doing a good load of work.
