Lower ball joints failed. The repairman said that this a common problem with the S10's.

Ball joints at 40000 miles were actually in pieces. GM calls ball joints a 'wear' item, so it's not warranteed. Definitely dangerous. We almost wrecked this piece of scrap when the driverside joint failed completely.
GM seems to be the Nr 1 ripoff company in the USA!

The lower ball joint has broken twice, left and right side in less than a year, no major consequences at this moment, but i'm really scare with this problem.
