I wonder what is the more likely cause of change in axis of jets?
in dynamics kind of precession? but in physics ?
Taking for example this first object

The axis change can be caused internally. For example if there is any precession present in the AGN then the resulting jet might appear with kinks in them. On the other hand if the galaxy is embedded in a cluster or compact group, the journey of a galaxy through the intracluster or intragroup medium may cause the jets to bend.
