You can't even tell I fixed anything!
But before putting the wheels back on, I cleaned all their mounting surfaces with a cup brush to remove scale & dirt so they sit metal-to-metal and clamp down properly. I also greased the tips of the leaf springs so they ride smoother, and the overload pads so they don't squeak. The lug nuts are torqued to 190 Nm (140 lb-ft) using a 1/2" torque wrench.
Last thing to do before driving is to check the oil level.
