A spherical bearing assembly manufacturing apparatus and its manufacturing method is disclosed. The spherical bearing that houses and supports a spherical journal is manufactured with fiber reinforced composite as a material. The spherical bearing assembly manufacturing apparatus consists of a mold, plunger, and first and second grippers. The mold has a cavity for molding fiber reinforced composite into a spherical bearing, and a first press surface for supporting fiber reinforced composite, and a first guide hole communicated with the cavity. The plunger has a second press surface for molding the fiber reinforced composite housed in the cavity into a spherical bearing, and a second guide hole formed in the center of the second press surface. In the first gripper is formed a hole in which the edge on one end of the spherical journal is housed. In the second gripper is formed a recessed portion in which the edge on the other end of the spherical journal is housed.
