Disc drive suspension with positioning features enabling load beam and flexure to be positioned relative to one another

   
   

An extending portion of a load beam is formed having a first hole in which a first positioning pin can be inserted and a second hole in which a second positioning pin can be inserted. The first hole has an elongated shape that allows the extending portion of the load beam to move relatively to the first positioning pin in a width direction. The second hole is a circular large hole that allows the extending portion to move relatively to the second positioning pin in the width direction and an axial direction. A third hole and a fourth hole are formed in a flexure. The third hole has an elongated shape that allows the flexure to move relatively to the first positioning pin in the axial direction. The fourth hole has an elongated shape that allows the flexure to move relatively to the second positioning pin.
