Abstract: A method of adjusting the static attitude of a head slider attached to a head suspension for use in a rigid disk drive. The head suspension includes a load beam having a mounting region, a rigid region, and a spring region. The head suspension also includes a flexure for supporting a head slider having a read/write head. The flexure is attached to the load beam at at least an attachment isolation structure. The attachment isolation structure includes an attachment area at which the flexure is attached to the load beam; at least one slot surrounding the attachment area; and at least one junction tab traversing the slot to connect the attachment area to the remainder of the head suspension. The attachment area can be displaced by permanently deforming the junction tab. Displacement of the attachment area places a torque on the flexure which causes a displacement, e.g. adjustment, of the head slider attached thereto.
