A head suspension for a disk drive includes a base (5) to be attached to a
carriage, a load beam (3) having a rigid part (9) and a resilient part
(11) supported by the base, to apply load on a data read/write head (19)
arranged at a front end of the rigid part, a flexure (7) attached to the
load beam and being provided with the head, and a guide face (27) formed
on an edge (9a) of the rigid part where a jig is inserted, to guide the
jig without wearing away the jig. The guide face is formed by providing
the edge of the rigid part with an integral thin part that is tinner than
the rigid part and bending the thin part, or by partly removing the edge
of the rigid part. The jig is inserted into a head suspension module,
which is made by arranging the head suspension and other identical head
suspensions at regular intervals, such that teeth of the jig slide on the
guide faces of the head suspensions to maintain spaces between the rigid
parts of the head suspensions, to install the head suspension module into
the disk drive such that the heads of the head suspensions face disks in
the disk drive.
