The bearing distance to side-to-side distance definitely isn't 2:1, so you could have a problem there, though it'll help if the green bit is a little flexible.
With 4 pistons pushing like that, I think it'll move eventually once pressures equalize, but if one pressurizes sooner, it could bind things up until the others catch up sufficiently. Best make sure all the lines are the same length.

Points well taken. Plumbing equal-length tubing might work well, or spending a little time tuning each air cylinder with a flow controller.
