Worn connecting rod bearings can show up as a knock from the lower engine, a low oil-pressure warning light or metal in the oil. Before you replace them, rule out low oil level, a weak oil pump or a faulty pressure sender, which can give a similar light. This standard bearing material offers less wear and corrosion resistance than other materials.
