A head suspension for a disk drive has a load beam, a base plate, and a recess. The base plate has a thin flange and is capable of improving the attaching accuracy and strength of the head suspension to a carriage arm of the disk drive. The base plate (3A) has the flange (7A) and a boss (9). The flange has a contact face (23A) to be attached to a contact face (39) of the carriage arm (35). The boss is inserted into a hole (37) of the carriage arm and plastically deformed therein to fix the base plate to the carriage arm. The load beam has a rigid part and a resilient part and is supported by the base plate, to apply load on a slider arranged at a front end of the load beam. The recess (31A) is formed on the base plate along a corner (29) between the flange and the boss, to secure a gap relative to the contact face of the carriage arm.
