Apparatus for assembling a carriage assembly includes space maintaining plates to be inserted between carriage arms fitted with suspensions. The plates have penetrating holes communicating with spacer holes provided in the suspensions. The carriage arms are held from opposite sides in the arrangement direction thereof. Pressing means force a ball having a larger diameter than the spacer holes in an axial direction of the spacer holes using a stick-like pressing member, in order to crimp the suspensions to the tips of the carriage arms. The guide members are made of an elastic material, and guide the pressing member to move substantially along the axis of the spacer holes in the crimping step. The guide members are fitted to the inner peripheral surfaces of the penetrating holes provided in the space maintaining plates.
