When I was a young man a century or two ago, The Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company, aka "The A&P", sold a motor oil called "A-Penn." It was about what you would expect from a motor oil sold by a grocery chain, but it had one big advantage. It was thick. There were even chunks of grease floating in it. No one bought it except for one purpose, to quiet a worn-out engine when you put the car up for sale. We called that an "A-Penn tuneup" and it fooled many buyers.
That peening on the locking lugs is the shotgun equivalent of an "A-Penn tuneup." It will last just long enough for the check to clear.
