The usual problem is that the grease inside the
rack tube becomes solidified with age (don't we
all!) and then the wipers gradually slow down. The
solution is to strip them down, clean out the old
grese with a solvent ( petrol or engine cleaner)
and re-gerease with fresh.

I'd be more inclined to accuse your wheel boxes.
The housings are aluminium,
and the shafts are steel, and you know what
happens when dissimilar metals
are in contact with one another. I'd see if you
can get them out, and try to
free them up with some sort of moly based lube.
