If they're humps or pinch pans, not much. Try wrapping string or wire around the pan pivot to take up the slack. If the traps stay set, why bother?
On post pans, tighten up the screw a bit to remove the slop. Watch out for the pan tension.

For longsprings I did a pictorial post in the archives that will take out the MAJORITY of the pan wobble and allow you to "give" the trap some pan tension if you desire... forgive "BigBob" for he does not know...
