It's in the bushings. You may be able to eliminate it by removing the
wiper arm-and-blade assemblies, removing the cowl cover to get access to
the wiper motor and link arms, and lubricating all pivot points with
silicone grease (I use Sil-Glyde from Napa) or, as applicable to those
that cannot be disassembled, silicone spray lube.

Look closely where the arm fits on the pivot. There's a small lever tab
tucked along one side of the arm. Lift the wiper blade away from the
windshield and use a small screwdriver to pry the small lever away from
the arm; this will lock the blade in the "off glass" position and allow
you to lift the arm assembly off the pivot.
