What would cause a knocking noise on a 1999 Saturn even when it is warm?
Knocking is caused by preignition, where the heat in the cylinder causes the gas to ignite before the spark plug does. Try using a higher octane/grade gas and see if the noise goes away.
What causes very loud engine knocking 1989 2.3 4-cylinder .?
Loud knocking in an engine is usually associated with a rod bearing. Rods connect the crankshaft to the pistons. Have it repaired right away because when a rod goes out it can go through the side of the engine block.
Why you wear the front brakes to fast?
Mostly it's because vehicles that don't have 4 wheel disc brakes are designed to use the front disc brakes to stop your vehicle. All the force needed to stop is taken out on the front brake pads and rotors and that's why it is important to keep an eye on the wear of your pads. Once they go away, your rotors will quickly follow, then you have a whole bigger mess to deal with.

First, check the lug nuts. If that's not it, check the wheel bearings.
Why does my 98 Honda Civic LX make a knocking sound when I brake The brakes were just replaced and it didn't stop the noise?
I assume that you have rear drum brake. If so, the knocking sound which happens only when apply the brake is more likely cause by an out-of-round drum. Take your car back to the mechanic that installed them. This problem is not bound to go away.

Why Your back brakes need change before your front brakes?
If its a rear wheel drive car it would be because more power to that axle, therefore more stopping power is exerted by the brake pads. When applying braking more forces are exerted on the front of the vehicle, this is why vehicles fitted with only one set of disc brakes (superior to drum) use them on the front of the car, and why front brakes usually wear faster. In your case I might suspect dragging brakes possibly caused by a sticking emergency brake cable. In most cases these cables are only connected to the rear brakes hence the accelerated wear. i would guess that either the emergency brakes are stuck on or the rear calipers should be inspected and or replaced. Or, it might just be, if you have front drum brakes, that the rear brakes are adjusted closer then the fronts were. If the front drum brakes were way out of adjustments (farther away from the drum) then the rears would contact first and then the fronts. You should always check/adjust drum brakes once or twice a year. I have not seen front drum brakes since the late sixties. The accepted course of action is normally every two changes of brake pads in the front a change of shoes in the back if complete inspection warrants this action. the only way brake shoes wear quickly in the rear is if the brake cylinders are jammed open then promoting the shoes to always be in contact with the drums or the emergency brake is sticking on when you release it. Have an inspection and correct your problem and save your money in the long run.
