You might get away using standard cylinders if you can find the correct
displacement and stroke but the pump is a different matter. Teleflex
steering pumps have stronger shaft bearings to take side impact loads
from the steering wheel. Standard pumps are designed to handle more or
less constant loads from belts. If they are subject to repeated side
loads from you bracing against the wheel they will start to leak. They
also have different mounting flanges to spread the load better over the
dash/binacle.

I'm going to use hydraulic steering system in my project.
I'm wonder what is different between expensive pump and cylinders by
Teleflex SeaStar, in example and regular not expensive commercial parts.
Parameters are very close, material is the same, only cylinder ends are
different.
So the question is - what is different? can be used?
Thanks in advance
