Forget that whole 'parallel' bars nonsense. Unfortunately thats been the bad info passed around the net for the better part of a year, if not more, due to peoples lack of understanding of rear suspension design. I don't have time to make some animations, but maybe soon for my site, but here are some pictures that I saw on S10Forum regarding a similar question.
The first picture shows parallel, yet unequal lengthed upper bars, and their pinion angle change through range of motion. The second shows the same length bars, only with the upper angled downward, thus giving the vehicle some good 4 link characteristics.
You can see the angle in the protrators as the pinion angle change. See the post here
