The original Optima had wishbones made with thin sections with no material between them to beef them up. The Turbo and Salute wishbones have thicker arms and extra webbing bracing the wishbones. The Optima Mid arms are even stronger and include cutouts so you can use metal collets to keep the Optima inner pivot pins in place instead of relying on the grub screw into plastic.
