We present new VLA observations of IRAS 0421+0400 at 1.4 and 5 GHz, providing dual frequency information and higher resolution than previously available. We find extremely accurate alignment of the central double with the closest (though not brightest) feature in the southern kiloparsec hotspot region. There is a tight relation between the symmetric radio structure and emission line gas in the hotspot regions of this Seyfert 2 type galaxy.
