Fan wobbling

I currently have 2 fractal fans in the top of my case, they are connected with their voltage reducers to the fan hub. Issue is that without the reducers they are loud as hell, and with them they have a slight wobble to them. Not major but enough I want to fix it. Any solution to this?

It is not the fan case, but the blades themselves. Also they are put in with the rubber shock mounts. 

 

As long as it doesnt rattle or fall off youre good ;)

Yes but it will kill the fans quicker. Seen it burn motors out on room fans so computer ones should be the same, I would think.

Well if they're wobbling that means the bearing is fucked... So they're on the way out anyways.

Damm only got them 2 months ago, then again they have been at full speed for the whole time.

 

Well inside warranty then. That would be build defect so you should RMA them.

I dunno, I have the same fans and they look like their wobbling a little bit (Might be just the lighting) But as long as they are not making any clicking or buzzing noise I think they are fine.
