Nikon SWMs (Silent Wave Motors) lifespan, around two years in my experience. I've had 3 in the same lens. Increasingly i'm meeting people that are experiencing VR problems with the new 300mm f4 VR. Mine worked like a dream for three months, before it started making awful grinding/graunching noises. Went back to Nikon twice, but still not the same lens i had at the beginning. Problems were very intermittent, so Wex was in denial, lost the video i sent them of the lens graunching, refused to replace it. Anyone else experiencing similar SWM or VR noise?
