In the direction of the winding.

Side bearing is the displacement of the wire by the bridge pins. If
the bridge splits at he pin, the pin will move and reduce side bearing.
sometimes the pins were not put in the right spot to begin with. the
pins are supposed to be on a line between the hitch pin and the
termination p[oint on the other end of the speaking length.

Is a winding touching the bridge bevel?

What kind of twang, metallic, wood, growl or just bad harmonics.

Sometimes things straighten out after it's been up to tension and tuned
a few times.
