The invention relates to a pivot bearing insert for a bearing body (1) consisting of two bearing parts (2, 3) which can pivot about a pivot axis (5) and between which the pivot bearing insert (6) is located. The invention is characterized in that the bearing insert consists of two bearing bushes (7) which slide into each other and which are provided with bearing surfaces (9) which slide into each other and outer surfaces which face towards the respective bearing part (2, 3). The bearing surfaces (9) which slide into each other are smooth and free of play, while the outer surfaces are rough and are solidly connected to the respective bearing part (2, 3). A pivot bearing insert (6) of this type is simple to produce and is well protected against wear and tear. The invention also relates to a bearing produced with at least one pivot bearing insert (6) of this type.
