tension and alignment. easier said than done. what works for me is pulling the cog side real tight and hand tightening the bolt then aligning by pulling the other side and tightening, then going back to other side and wrench tightening and then the other side..... . make sure there isn't too much play in the chain. rotate the cranks and check the play in different positions as the chainring isn't prefectly round.
