It's a water displacer and leaves a film of grit-attracting wax when the carrier evaporates. It's exactly what you don't want to use, pretty much anywhere. That said, I'm not sure how even a penetrating oil is going to have a lasting effect on a sticking caliper, and I'm not sure I understand how a sticking caliper (a static force in one direction) could cause a wobble (an oscillating force in two directions). Sounds more like a warped disk to me.
