An improved variable geometry diffuser assembly is provided. This assembly includes a variety of features that reduce the leakage and improve the precision within the assembly. These features include: sealing disks mounted to the vane; cantilevered vanes mounted for rotation to coolside diffuser wall only, thereby reducing the effects of thermal growth on the assembly; and self lubricating, non-metallic bushings for supporting the various components in the assembly thereby reducing friction and any need for lubrication. Each vane is coupled to a single unison ring through an arm member also employing non-metallic bushings.
