Two self contained 5 ton. ea. Amana heat pumps, we just replaced the condensers' fan motor and blades.

They are runing good but I've noticed too much vibration on both of them, compared with other two units same brand on the same roof.

Will this excessive vibration of the fans become a problem for the motor bearings or something else?

possibly, the shipping bolts were never removed/loosened when the unit was installed.

however, my experience with Amana equipment is that it is trash, and should be dealt with accordingly.

Yes, of course it will. Why are they vibrating if they are new?
If you had a company replace them then I would certianly have them back out ASAP to investigate the issue.
