Wtf is this **** about power axle?
I bring the car to the shop to get brakes, pads and brakelines changed. Few hours later they call me in to pick up the car. When i arrived the car is still on the lift so i spin the wheels. The passenger side front wheels is stiff and the drivers side front is loose. I say wtf is this, and the mechanic gives me some **** about "power axle". He tries to convice me that in fwd cars one wheels gets more power than the other. I say bullsh!t im not paying for this and leave the car there. I dont know much about cars but im pretty sure the caliper was too tight and theyre too lazy to fix it. Am i right?

If you don't know that much about cars why are you so quick to jump on the guy?
The way the power is delivered is different between the two wheels due to the length

Oh and i forgot to add, the rear wheels wooble a bit when i spun them while the car was on the lift....is this normal?

if you can physically move the wheel like meaning if you push on top of the tire n the the bottom you'll hear n see a movement, that is not good, meaning that the rotors are not seating properly. when you were trying to spin teh wheel, was the car in N drive (nutrel)? or was the key not even in the car?? if the car is in nuetrel and is hard to spin one side more than the other, i would say that there is soemthing wrong with the brakes.
