ABSTRACT:
A method of fixing a suspension to an actuator arm having a mounting portion. The mounting portion has a first hole and a second hole formed in proximity to the first hole. The suspension has a cylindrical projection having an outer diameter slightly smaller than the diameter of the first hole. The cylindrical projection is first inserted into the first hole of the mounting portion of the actuator arm, and a ball having a diameter slightly larger than the diameter of the second hole of the mounting portion of the actuator arm is next forcibly passed through the second hole. Accordingly, the second hole is radially expanded to deform a wall portion defining the first hole, thereby forcibly pressing the cylindrical projection on the mounting portion of the actuator arm to fix the suspension to the actuator arm.
