ARG0000xud - disk host (and one-sided lobe)?

SDSS J124127.34+435147.1, z_sp 0.149, looks rather like a somewhat disturbed, inclined Sa or Sb spiral:
It's also, almost certainly, the host of the FIRST and NVSS radio emission:
Speculation: ram pressure stripped the spiral galaxy of its cold gas, the AGN switched on (why? no idea), and the same IGM which stripped out the cold gas is also bending the jets into a nat?
Boilerplate: SDSS image per

, FIRST (red) contours derived from the FITS file produced using SkyView with Python code described in this RGZ Talk thread. Image center (J2000.0) is the galaxy SDSS J124127.34+435147.1; "z_sp" its SDSS spectroscopic redshift.Posted
