Are there any lubrication points in the wiper system I should look at? Like
motor, cable, rack and pivots? >>

Two major problems with wipers. The grease in the gearbox on the end of the
motor is probably hardened. Open it up, clean it out, regrease. Or there is
a bad electrical ground. Check and clean the ground first, since this is an
easier job. Unless you are chuck's size.
