An apparatus and method for assembling baseplates, which are joined to head suspensions, to actuator arms of an E-block for use in disk drives employ an assembly fixture for orienting and holding the head suspensions with reference to a pivot bearing formed in the E-block. An adhesive is interposed in a gap formed between each baseplate and corresponding actuator arm to maintain the suspensions in alignment relative to the pivot bearing. The assembly fixture includes clamps for maintaining the suspensions in a proper orientation. Each suspension has a locating surface that is planar with the gap for alignment of the suspensions.
