Abstract
A variable vane assembly for a gas turbine engine includes a case having a bore and a recess. The case provides a first portion of a flow path surface. A vane includes a journal that extends along an axis from a vane end and received in the bore. An insert is arranged in the recess and provides a second portion of the flow path surface adjacent to the first flow path surface. The insert includes a pocket that slidably receives the vane end. The vane end is configured to move axially relative to the insert.
