It's likely that the wiper shafts are corroded inside the bushings where they 
come thru the body. You can test this theory by just dripping some oil down the 
shaft (it may help to remove the wiper arms first) but I usually take the whole 
assembly out of the car and disassemble it. Then polish the shafts and pack 
them with grease. There's really more to it than can usually be reached by oil.
