Default loud quick knocking!!!!

So I need some help. I have had this knocking noise for over a year now. It happens first start up of the jeep for atleast a min or 2 plus it will make it when I turn the steering wheel in park and it vanish if I put the wheel in certain spots???

Sounds like lifters.

I have the exact same thing. They can get dirty and worn out and will eventually need to be replaced.
